Title:
  LibreOffice Writer Document Compare (regression)

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libreoffice

  OpenOffice 3.2 Writer contained one major improvement over earlier
  versions, which had been overdue for years:  It offered for the first
  time the ability to fine-tune the options when comparing two documents
  (Edit > Compare Documents...).  This ability to select Document
  Compare options (via Tools > Options...) has now been dropped again in
  LibreOffice 3.3.2, installed with the Ubuntu upgrade to 11.04.

  Comparing two files has reverted to the old OOo behaviour of flagging
  entire long sequences of paragraphs as different, when in fact they
  are actually identical except maybe for just one or two minor
  typographical differences.

  The ability to compare documents efficiently is absolutely essential
  when editing long and complex documents in a production environment.

  Until OOo 3.2, the only real choice was to revert to Microsoft Office
  just for the purpose of document comparison and to let MS Word
  precisely detect the differences.  OOo 3.2 was the first real
  improvement here, but in LibreOffice we are now back to square one.

  Please bring back this essential key feature -- the code must still be
  there --, and hopefully, refine it further so at to detect any changes
  more precisely.

  Note:  Document Comparison also still does not work at all in
  footnotes.  Two documents with differences only in the text of
  footnotes are erroneously flagged as identical.
